In this programme, marine engineer Spencer Johns takes us on a tour of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution's headquarters in Poole.
As a part of a team of engineers he is responsible for keeping the RNLI's fleet of boats up and running.
This is the first of a pair of programmes following people employed in the engineering industry throughout their day to reveal the literacy, numeracy and ICT skills they need to use in their jobs.
The FE Skills: for Life in Context series is designed to help 14-19 year old students on vocational courses with Level 2 skills.
